Wildview Xtreme 5 Picture Quality

I gave the Wildview Xtreme 5 a C for picture quality. This has been a difficult camera to grade. The daylight pictures are good but any time the flash goes off the pictures deteriorate a lot. You would think that there are two different cameras taking the pictures.

The daylight pictures are clear with good, not great, color that blow up well. On the other hand any picture taken with the flash is grainy and they do not blow up well. You can see the deer and tell what it is but the difference between the daylight and flash pictures is remarkable. Also, when deer are close and near daybreak and dusk the flash washes the deer out.

It was interesting to note that the flash pictures looked better when I reduced their size and looked at them at 100%. I can't quite figure this out. When I looked at the pictures at 2592x1944 pixels they were very graiy, but when I reduced them to 500x375 pixels to put them on this page they cleared up.

Below are three daylight pictures and four flash pictures.

This is a picture taken just before 8:00PM where the flash has washed out the picture reducing the quality.
